We have been playing this game nonstop, every day, for a couple months now. We have not yet completed this game to our satisfaction though. We will continue to play it. It inhabits our thoughts, our plans, our dreams. It is beautiful, frustrating, haunting, & fascinating game. you will like it.

Dark Souls is hard... really hard. But I love it. The game looks beautiful, the gameplay is fantastic and the game can be quite scary. There was only one issue I had with the game and that was the frame rate would drop during areas with lots of enemies, which was really quite annoying.

If you played demon souls before, this game would be best played after, and then prepare to die edition xD

Cheap, challenging game that only costs 20 bucks; Worth getting if into challenging games with lots of playthrough.

Not many cons to look at considering 20 bucks for a good quality game; (Maybe might be too difficult for people, but its all preference

I'll admit that I'm not the best at keeping cool playing games. Sometimes my emotions get the best of me. And in my last 20 years of gaming a few pads may have been thrown. But not during this game. Why you ask? Well dying is important in this game. When you start this game you will be overwhelmed.

Dark Souls , like Demon's Souls before it, defies so many gaming sensibilities that either game's catastrophic failure would not be surprising. However, the truly unique blend of play mechanics and design philosophies have come together two times now in logic-defying synchronicity to create a pair...

Incredible depth of play; Fierce challenge that isn't cheap; Learning the game world; then building a character; equipment loads; and skills around that knowledge

Technical hiccups like throttled resolution and frame rate; Poor PC controls essentially require purchase of a USB controller

Demon's Souls was an anomaly, a thoroughly modern 3D game whose mechanics and philosophy were plucked wholesale from the 8-bit era: unforgivingly brutal difficulty, a focus on repetitive attack patterns, and absolutely no hand-holding whatsoever.

Enormous level of content; Unparalleled sense of accomplishment; Bizarre character and level design

"Gotcha!" ambushes; Unreliable target lock-on/camera; Framerate issues

Last year, Dark Souls was released on consoles. A towering achievement, its treacherous, interconnected realms offered some of the most absorbing exploration a game has ever conjured, and its intense and grueling combat made victory against even the most common enemies a source of gratification and...

A captivating world that's thrilling to explore; Challenging and exhilarating combat; Incredible enemies and bosses; Fleeting interactions with other players make for memorable and meaningful multiplayer; Some great new content for this release

New player-vs.-player arena is disappointing; Some PC-specific technical issues

The transition from consoles to PC has been a mixture of ups and downs for Dark Souls . After the initial console release, PC fans wanted to experience the game as well, setting up a petition to Namco Bandai that actually pushed the company into porting the game to PC.

Starting off dark souls you will be given the choice to build your character's class and structure. While it may lead you to believe that this will turn into a unique adventure the slight variation in character customization can't pull this game away from what hurts it the most.

I've gotten back into gaming at a great time. I picked up a PS3 about 6 months ago, after last owning an Xbox 360 about 2 years ago. Now, back then some great titles were out, but after 2 years away I've been catching up on some of the most highly recommended games (most recommendations come from a...

Engrossing and a real challange

Not for everyone
